it's a capitalist free market decision

It's the first step towards censorship. Instead of an open and free internet we will have sites like FR shutdown because these large companies with shareholders say it is in the nations best interests.

They don't have to say a thing about the nation's interest, they can fall back on saying they're concerned about how not censoring impacts their revenue and that's it.

If you want to call that censorship, then a whole lot of other things that are done in the name of protecting shareholder value are going to be reclassified as something other than a business decision as well.

That's the beauty of the leftist scum companies in the fascist Hillary camp pulling their ads rather than Google and others lifting a finger before their revenues fall.

People won't differentiate between Google censorship and a company that removes in store posters of queer weddings after their sales drop when people start talking about that ad campaign. It's the capitalist reaction argument used against the people who always make that argument when they fight the fascist scum shoving social trash down their throats.

Think about it, companies like Target and Starbucks may be willing to eat losses and ignore the public reaction to their social agenda BS but do you think Greedy Google will eat the losses? No way, the twit in charge has too many big plans to give up a penny.

If he'll only go along after revenues drop, fine, the big money crowd will both make his revenues drop and in doing so provide him cover for going along with censorship that he most likely only avoids because it might cost money to initiate it without some kind of cover.
